Strat Jazz Bass Les Paul

1st Verse:

When you’re young, there’s everything to find

Times are simple, but life’s unkind

It’s ’84 I’m only 17, my guitar is my best friend

Pick away my problems, no need to pretend

Pre-Chorus 1:

Got my band, my bike, my babe, my beer

Got a Strat, Jazz Bass, Les Paul

We’re jammin’ in the cabin, all day long

2nd Verse:

Then came college, new friends, another band

There’s a common thread, a guitar in my hand

It’s ’92, I’m 25, got a house, a wife, a child

But there’s bills to pay, can’t live my life so wild

Pre-Chorus 2:

Got my band, my bike, my babe, my boy

Got a Strat, Jazz Bass, Les Paul

Recording studio, all night long

Chorus:

The path of life is so unclear, every end must have its start

The maps, well they won’t help you much, with matters of the heart

3rd Verse:

I thought I knew, what was best for us, for her, for him for me

I was so naive, and now I’m so sorry

It’s ’07, I’m 41, nothing stays the same

Running in the rat race, trapped inside a game

Pre-Chorus 3:

Got my job, my wealth, my health, my friends

Got a Strat, Jazz Bass, Les Paul

But I’m leaving for Thailand, in the Fall

Chorus 2:

The path of life is so unclear, every end must have its start

The maps, well they won’t help you much, with matters of the heart

4th Verse:

It’s a brand new life, a strange new land, I’ve left the past behind

Every day, here in Chiang Mai, sublime

It’s ’22 I’m 56, the world it seems so wrong

But I will carry on, and give you all this song

Pre-Chorus 4:

Got my gym, my weights, my aches, my pains

Got a Strat, Jazz Bass, Les Paul

The music in my heart, all along
